After a long wait, medical marijuana dispensaries are finally open to patients in Hawaii. Qualified patients with medical marijuana cards are now able to purchase up to 4 ounces of "usable marijuana."

Although medical marijuana was legalized in Hawaii in 2000, it took 17 years for the first dispensaries to open their doors to patients. Thanks to the passing of Act 241 in 2015, Hawaii was able to establish a system for medical marijuana dispensaries to operate compliantly.

While Act 241 took a couple years to fully implement, medical marijuana dispensaries are now open for business in Hawaii. Patients are now able to visit these dispensaries for all their medical marijuana needs. Additionally, anyone suffering from qualifying conditions is encouraged to sign up for their medical marijuana card.
